Three-phase power is available to the site. Normal development charges will apply. An electrical contractor should complete the Commercial One, "C-1" form to determine panel size and entrance capacity. 2. The pad-mounted electrical transformer must be screened from public streets. It should be located near the building. The transformer may be screened by a solid enclosure, meeting the minimum clearance specifications, or by landscape materials. The transformer must be located within ten feet of hard surface on one side for emergency change-out. Please contact Kevin Westhuis, 221-6700, for further details. 3. Both water and sewer mains are available on the north, west, and east sides of the lot. Services are stubbed to the lot. If these services are not used, they must be abandoned at the main in accordance with the specifications of the City's Water and Wastewater Department. A sand and oil interceptor will be required inside the servicebay area. Please contact Roger Buffington, 221-6681, for further details. 4. A repay is due from the developer to the City Water and Wastewater Department for the Warren Lake sewer trunk line. Please contact Mary Young, 221-6681 for further details. 5. Future plans should show the location of the nearest hydrant.

COMMUNITY PLANNING& ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 NORTH COLLEGE P.O.BOX 580 FORT COLLINS,COLORADO 80522-0580(303)221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT 410 6. The Poudre Fire Authority is concerned about storage of waste oil. Generally, this is stored above ground in 55 gallon steel tanks and picked up on a regular basis by a recycling company. Please contact Mike Pretz, PoudrelFire Authority, 221-6570, if there are any questions about storage of hazardous materials. 7. The site is located in the McClelland-Mail Creek Drainage Basin. The Storm Drainage Fee in this basin is $3,717 per acre. The site will be required to provide onsite stormwater detention and release flows at the two year historic rate. The private internal drive aisles will be required to have vertical curb and gutter to convey storm flows. Normal submittal requirements must be provided on submittal day or risk the application not being accepted. These submittal documents include a Drainage Report, Drainage and Grading Plan, and Erosion Control Plan. For further information, please contact Basil Hamden, 221-6589. The Engineering Department will require that a set of Utility Plans be submitted along with the application. A four foot wide detached sidewalk is required on Mason. This walk must be detached by a 4.5 foot wide parkway strip that can be used for street trees. (Street trees are a minimum of two inches in caliper and must b.e selected from the list of approved trees as per the City Forester. ) 9. If a sidewalk is not already in place on Kensington, then it must be installed. All sidewalks and ramps must be built to City specifications. 10. The Street Oversizing Fee is $14,005 per acre, payable at the time of building permit issuance. 11. A traffic impact analysis will be required. This analysis can be an update of previous studies and address the trip generation associated with the proposed use. The traffic study should also address the Saturday noon peak time as this is considered the busiest time for both the adjacent Jiffy Lube/Texaco, and the proposed use. There is a concern about stacking or storage of cars off the site which impacts the public streets. The traffic consultant should discuss the parameters of the study with Tom Vosburg, Transportation Department, 221-6608. 12. There is a concern about who builds the east-west access drive. When does this drive get built? The traffic study should address the master plan for The Gateway at Harmony Road to see if this access drive is an anticipated curb cut on Mason Street. 13. The site plan indicates a very high percentage of hard surface. Landscaping the site looks challenging. The perimeter parking on the south and east is separated from the • • access drives by only five feet. Staff cautions the developer that the amount of landscaping shown on. the concept plan is inadequate. The developer should pull copies of the approved landscaping plans for McDonald's and Jiffy Lube/Texaco to see the amount of landscaping that will be expected of this site. 14. The M & 0 Tire building will be expected to use similar exterior materials and architectural forms that are. established within the center. The predominant color in the center is a combination of gray tones. Roofing materials will have to match the other two existing buildings. Again, please refer to the approved plans for both McDonald's and Jiffy Lube/Texaco for a detailed specification of the approved building materials. 15. The plat should dedicate all the necessary utility and access and drainage easements necessary to serve the property.
